Application filed October 2, 192a. se i i ivo, ,164;

This invention relates to improvements 1 incufi' 'links'and has for its objects to pro- "vide a very cheapone-piece device of flexible and elastic material, comprising terminal buttons integrally connected with and by an 7 elastic, link member elongatableby stretching, and adapted to-so stretch, to allow the t piece construction of the device cufi to separate as the sleeve is pulled toward the elbow of the WearerL Features of the invention include theonef rom rubberlike material, 7 i p v j v o Figurel'isa sectional plan; 7 1 Figure 2 is a sectional elevation; 1 Figure 3 is an elevation shoWingthe link element stretched; and

tioned in anyv desired manner, but the onepiece device comp'rises terminal buttonele ments 1, 2, connected by a relatively thin 1 band-like link element 3, all elements-being composed of rubber-like. material and the parts beingintegral. 1 The. link isthus adapt- .ed to stretchlongitudinally to permit the cufls to spread asthey-are pulled toward the elbow.

Thefuse of rubber-like materialv permits.

the device to be moulded, and the material is colorable to provide a' variety'of attractive eilects. Moreover, embossed 'or' indented devices can be produced by moulding, upon t r the outer faces of the buttons, and even inulti-colored efiects canbe obtained all by I a-simple moulding process, and by the use of a very cheap material. r

If lesired, the buttons may be vulcanized during or after formation to facilitate intro ducjtionthrough. the buttonholes, although 'it has been found that suff cient stifiness can be obtained by-using a certain igrade ofvstock," and givingbthe connecting link portion a small cross-sectional area, to provide for; the proper longitudinal stretch. "The buttonscan be moulded. in various 7 shapes. Nofassemblyof parts isnecessary, I as ln'thedevlces "110mm use; therefore the I device can .be very cheaply made. 'Itis adapted for advertisement purposes, and can be produced from colored, stretchable, materials. a The parts of the device may be propor rubber-like,
